At this very moment in a picturesque, provincial New Zealand
town named Christchurch there labours a skilled, mastercraftsman
creating superb, functional artworks with a most unique purpose. He
pours scores of hours of fastidious concentration into his creation
of objets d'art which serve not only as items of collectable beauty
but also as sources of evocative, mellow lighting for key areas of
your home or business. The craftsman is Gareth Donnelly, founder-owner
of the New Zealand Tap Lamp Company Ltd. His craft is also his artistic
passion, and he is offering to the public the opportunity to peruse
his recycled, lighting masterpieces.

The New Zealand Tap Lamp Company Ltd (1981) createsTable
Lamps, Bedside Lamps, Free-Standing Lamps, Ceiling Lamps and Wall Lamps.
In fact, a Gareth Donnelly Tap Lamp may be designed and installed in
virtually any interior setting in consultation with the artisan. No
two lamps are ever the same, all have their own unique design features.
Features include: genuine recycled and new British Standard waterpipework,
brass and bronze metal fittings and faucets, a delightfully innovative
switching device located in a special faucet incorporated in the lamp
enabling the light to be operated by rotating the faucet handle,
environmentally friendly paint and laquer finishes, and genuine Art
Deco original lampshades in pristine condition.
